Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve cleaning technology, specifically to a valve cleaning device for manufacturing valves. Background Technology

[0002] A valve cleaning device for valve production is a piece of equipment used to clean valves. Its main function is to remove impurities, dirt, paint, etc. from the surface and inside of the valve through various cleaning methods, so as to improve the appearance of the valve, facilitate storage and transportation, and prevent the valve from being corroded by external impurities.

[0003] In most existing cleaning devices, the cleaning platform is fixed. When the cleaning platform is fixed, the cleaning nozzles cannot reach all parts of valves with complex shapes and special structures, such as valves with internal cavities, curved flow channels, and narrow gaps. This can easily leave dirt, impurities, and contaminants in these parts, resulting in incomplete cleaning, affecting the quality and performance of the valves, greatly extending the cleaning cycle, and reducing production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model proposes a valve cleaning device for valve production, which solves the problem in the prior art that valves are fixed on the workbench, resulting in residual dirt and impurities during rinsing, affecting the cleaning cycle and production efficiency.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A valve cleaning device for manufacturing valves includes a base and a flushing mechanism. A support plate is fixedly connected to the top of the base, and a top plate is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate. The flushing mechanism is disposed on the top of the top plate. The device also includes a protective frame, a rotating fixing mechanism, a drive mechanism, and a rotating clamping mechanism. The protective frame is fixedly connected to the top of the base, and the rotating fixing mechanism is disposed within the protective frame. The rotating fixing mechanism is used to fix the valve to be cleaned. Two drive mechanisms are disposed on the top of the base, and each drive mechanism is provided with a rotating clamping mechanism. The drive mechanism is used to drive the rotating clamping mechanism to move up and down.

[0007] Preferably, the rotating fixing mechanism includes a rotary cylinder, a support frame, and a fixing column. The rotary cylinder is installed on the inner bottom wall of the protective frame, the support frame is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary cylinder, and the fixing column is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the support frame.

[0008] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a transmission frame, a motor, a reciprocating screw, a nut seat, a fixed frame, a guide rod, and a sliding seat. Two transmission frames are fixedly connected to the top of the base near the support plate, and a rotating groove is formed on the inner bottom wall of each transmission frame. The motor is installed on the top of each transmission frame, and the reciprocating screw is fixedly connected to the output end of each motor. The other end of the reciprocating screw is rotatably connected in the rotating groove. The nut seat is threaded onto the reciprocating screw. Two fixed frames are fixedly connected to the top of the base away from the transmission frame. The guide rod is fixedly connected between the top and bottom of each fixed frame, and the sliding seat is slidably connected to the outer wall of each guide rod.

[0009] Preferably, the rotating clamping mechanism includes a connecting frame, a second rotating cylinder, and a mechanical gripper. The connecting frame is fixedly connected between the nut seat and the sliding seat. The second rotating cylinder is installed on the inner sidewall of one side of the connecting frame, and the mechanical gripper is fixedly connected to the output end of the second rotating cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, grooves are provided on the outer side walls of both sides of the support plate, and protective covers are slidably connected in the two grooves.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the support frame is configured to be arc-shaped.

[0012] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] In this invention, during valve production, some oil stains or cutting debris may remain on the valve. Therefore, the valve needs to be rinsed and cleaned after production. At this time, the worker can slide the protective cover upward to expose the rotating and fixing mechanism. The worker can then place the processed valve on the rotating and fixing mechanism, slide the protective cover downward to close it, and introduce water from the outside into the rinsing mechanism. The rinsing mechanism rinses the valve. Then, the drive mechanism is activated to drive the rotating clamping mechanism to clamp the valve, lift it upward, flip it, and place it back on the rotating and fixing mechanism. The rinsing mechanism rinses the rotated valve again. Compared with the prior art, the valve can be clamped and flipped during the rinsing process for a second rinsing, which reduces the frequency of manual intervention. Moreover, the area that can be rinsed during the rotation of the valve is larger, reducing the need for subsequent secondary processing. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, this embodiment proposes a valve cleaning device for valve production, including a base 1 and a flushing mechanism. A support plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and a top plate 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 2. The flushing mechanism is located on the top of the top plate 3. It also includes a protective frame 4, a rotating fixing mechanism, a driving mechanism, and a rotating clamping mechanism. The protective frame 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and the rotating fixing mechanism is located inside the protective frame 4. The rotating fixing mechanism is used to fix the valve to be cleaned. Two driving mechanisms are provided on the top of the base 1, and each driving mechanism is provided with a rotating clamping mechanism. The driving mechanism is used to drive the rotating clamping mechanism to move up and down. Slide grooves 5 are opened on the outer side walls on both sides of the support plate 2, and protective covers 6 are slidably connected in the two slide grooves 5. Since it is a flushing operation after valve production, it is necessary to use protective covers 6 to isolate the internal flushing water from the outside to prevent workers from being splashed by the internal water. Therefore, when flushing the valve inside, the protective cover 6 can be pulled down to isolate the water.

[0023] In this embodiment, the rotating fixing mechanism includes a rotary cylinder 101, a support frame 102, and a fixing column 103. The rotary cylinder 101 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the protective frame 4. The support frame 102 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary cylinder 101. The fixing column 103 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the support frame 102. The top of the support frame 102 is set as an arc shape 7. Since the surface of the valve is generally arc-shaped or cylindrical after processing and production, and is relatively smooth, the use of the arc-shaped support frame 102 can reduce the wear on the surface of the valve.

[0024] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism includes a transmission frame 201, a motor 202, a reciprocating screw 203, a nut seat 204, a fixed frame 205, a guide rod 206, and a sliding seat 207. Two transmission frames 201 are fixedly connected to the top of the base 1 near the support plate 2, and a rotating groove is provided on the inner bottom wall of each transmission frame 201. A motor 202 is installed on the top of each transmission frame 201, and a reciprocating screw 203 is fixedly connected to the output end of each motor 202. The other end of the reciprocating screw 203 is rotatably connected in the rotating groove. The nut seat 204 is threadedly connected to the reciprocating screw 203. Two fixed frames 205 are fixedly connected to the top of the base 1 away from the transmission frame 201. A guide rod 206 is fixedly connected between the top and bottom of each fixed frame 205, and a sliding seat 207 is slidably connected to the outer wall of each guide rod 206.

[0025] In this embodiment, the rotating clamping mechanism includes a connecting frame 301, a second rotating cylinder 302, and a mechanical gripper 303. The connecting frame 301 is fixedly connected between the nut seat 204 and the sliding seat 207. The second rotating cylinder 302 is installed on the inner side wall of one side of the connecting frame 301, and the mechanical gripper 303 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second rotating cylinder 302.

[0026] It should be added that the rinsing mechanism includes a rinsing pipe 401, a high-pressure nozzle 402, a water pump 403, and a water inlet pipe 404. The rinsing pipe 401 is connected to the top of the top plate 3, and one end of the rinsing pipe 401 extends through the top plate 3 towards the rotary cylinder 101. The high-pressure nozzle 402 is connected to the end of the rinsing pipe 401 that extends near the rotary cylinder 101. The water pump 403 is installed at the other end of the rinsing pipe 401, and the input end of the water pump 403 is connected to the water inlet pipe 404. Since valves are generally produced in large batches, a large amount of water is required for rinsing after production. Therefore, there is no need to install water storage tanks or other containers. Water is directly introduced from the outside into the water inlet pipe 404, which eliminates the need for workers to frequently add water to the containers and reduces the footprint of the equipment.

[0027] In this embodiment, during valve production, some oil stains or cutting debris may remain on the valve. Therefore, the valve needs to be rinsed and cleaned after production. However, most valve cleaning devices on the market fix the valve on the valve cleaning device, and the rinsing area is too small, which leads to the need for workers to perform secondary cleaning later.

[0028] At this point, the worker can slide the protective cover 6 upwards until the worker can see the rotary cylinder 101, then stop sliding. The worker controls the protective cover 6 with one hand, and with the other hand, can place the valve on the support frame 102. At the same time, the valve hole will pass through the fixing post 103 for visible fixation. Then, the worker pulls the protective cover 6 down to the closed position, introduces water from the outside, and starts the water pump 403. The pressure of the water pump 403 forces the water to flow through the inlet pipe 404 into the flushing pipe 401, and finally sprays it onto the valve through the high-pressure nozzle 402 for flushing. After rinsing for a period of time, the worker can activate the rotary cylinder 101. The rotary cylinder 101 will rotate the valve 90 degrees to continue rinsing. This process needs to be repeated four times. Afterward, the worker can activate the motor 202, which will drive the reciprocating screw 203 to rotate. At this point, the nut seat 204, threaded onto the reciprocating screw 203, will begin to slide up and down. Two clamping jaws will clamp the valve on the support frame 102, driving the nut seat 204 and the sliding seat 207 to move the connecting rod upward. After sliding between the high-pressure nozzle 402 and the support frame 102, the rotary cylinder 302 is activated, causing the valve clamped by the mechanical gripper 303 to flip. After flipping, the nut seat 204 and sliding seat 207 are driven again, moving the valve downwards onto the support frame 102 for placement. At this time, the high-pressure nozzle 402 continues to flush the flipped valve. Then, the mechanical gripper 303 clamps the valve again, and the nut seat 204 and sliding seat 207 drive the valve until the hole in the middle of the valve passes through the high-pressure nozzle 402, allowing the high-pressure nozzle 402 to spray the valve. The valve is then flushed inside, and then lowered back between the high-pressure nozzle 402 and the support frame 102. The rotary cylinder 302 is then activated, causing the valve to flip and move upwards again until the valve hole passes through the high-pressure nozzle 402, allowing the water sprayed from the high-pressure nozzle 402 to flush the inside of the flipped valve. At this point, the water pump 403 can be turned off, the protective cover 6 can be pulled up, and the worker can remove the flushed valve. A new, pre-processed valve that needs to be flushed is then placed in the valve, and the same flushing process is repeated.

[0029] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
